Why Americans like to enroll in military services despite huge risks involved?@TomAu, I think this is slightly wrong. If anything, the US had one of the most legal and "happy" revolutions ever. In fact, you could say that China is a bloodier place since the Boxer rebellion, Taiping rebellion, Civil war...were all bloodier than Americans wars. To combat you quotes, I quote Mao Zi Dong: "A revolution is not the same as inviting people to dinner...A revolution is an act of violence by which one class overthroughs another. But, China is not a blood thirsty place, nether is America. Anything can be stated and backed up with rationalization, but rationalization is a fallacy.

Obama: Syria chemical weapons are a ‘red line’@harold Because 1) China and Russia don't want anyone to interfere (because it could be used as a president for invading Authoritarian regims stated above) 2) Syria hasn't used the weapons yet.
